Connection problems

Post by davideconfa »

Hi, I'm a new doner! I'v just downloaded the default packages from the folding.stanford.edu website, but it seems that the Client can't connect with the server, and keeps on saying "Connecting" even after several hours.

I have an ASUS with Linux Mint 16 Kernel 3.11.0-12-generic installed, Intel Core i5-3210M CPU 2.50 GHz x2, 3.7Gb RAM +2Gb dedicated, NVIDIA GF119M (GeForce 610M). I'm connecting through a ADSL Wi-Fi router.

Any help would be welcome!!!

Reboot, and if that doesn't help, please review the install guide on the F@h web site.

Welcome to the folding@home support forum davideconfa.

If the reboot doesn't help please copy and paste the log from FAHControl as explained in the link in my signature. Please include the System Info and Config sections plus some of the Folding section where it fails to connect to the servers.
